We eat what we have in stock - part 3
It is cauliflower today.
I had only 2 euros to spend this week and that was what it costed... on sales.
I saw the other lady study the cauliflowers and hesitate. So did I for a second as I saw it.
The cauliflowers are small.
Very small and it is too much money for what they ask. Two euro for a cauliflower smaller as the size of a newborn's head.
Still, I bought it. The kid saw it and I can make curry sauce with it.
This is what is left of it.
I am even more disappointed now and can't help thinking I should not have done it!
For that amount, I could have bought milk, toiletpaper, and toast bread. 😭
It is even less after I removed all the trunk.
Do you see that small matchbox in between it? What is left is not even enough for one child!
I spent next week's money too. Two euro for minced meat made out of turkey. I used a bit for yesterday's spaghetti sauce and made small burgers out of it. Hopefully, we can eat 2-3 more days from it but if the cauliflower is so less.
, First of all, I took some small pieces of cauliflower for a snack.
It isn't much but only one kid will eat it.
With mayonnaise, curry, some chili pepper I made a dipping sauce to it.
These kinds of sauces are usually used with potato chips but raw vegetables taste good too.
You can eat the leaves!
And that is what I am going to do and why I didn't hesitate that long in the shop.
I cut the leaves in small pieces, cook them and stir them through the mashed potatoes.
I have the burgers and gravy is easily made. There's one onion left I might use it.
I have a huge bowl filled with what many throw away.
People this is foid, good food. You can cook it or use it in your wok. It is good for a stew or soup or whatever you like.
This is enough for one-day food perhaps even two.
I didn't throw the trunk away.
I cut it in small pieces and we will eat it with the tiny bit of cauliflower I put on top of it.
I will make a curry sauce to it too and if the youngest likes it can eat applesauce with it. I still have it in my cupboard.

I am sorry to see how you are struggling. I hope that my upvote helps a little bit.
Things are tight at this end too, but I hope that things pick up for you soon.
2 Euro for a cabbage is very expensive. I was lucky that I have friends with money so I can occasionally go out for a meal like tonight. But I still have to be really careful.
I wish I could help you more.
@shaidon I am happy with each upvote no matter if it is high or only 0,001 steem.
I hope to earn a bit more here it all doesn't look very positive.
I manage simply because I have to. We will not die for hunger. I still have food although the fresh things, fruit, vegetables, meat etc can hardly be bought.
I hope to spend a bit more next month coming up and afford that. If not it is pancakes and beans for the children and I will see what is left for me.
Great you have some help. That's what friends are for.
We will do better this year because we have to!
Yeah I am beginning to learn that my real strength here is the engagement of the community. The more engagement the better. I am getting more upvotes because more people are reading my stuff.
I also need to be writing more posts too.
I just need to believe in myself more.

Uploaded few days ago @wakeupkitty 🙂
@davidke20 I was there. 😁. Thank you for the great post and help. Without it would be "die" for me - of cold - .❤️
There are many ways to prepare them, but here they are not so expensive :(
I hope everyone liked their taste and received satisfaction.
A hug in the distance, @wakeupkitty
You grow them? They are grown here too but still. I think they do it on purpose. A cheese sauce is great too.
It was good with curry though and enough. 😁
Today I make the stew out of the leaves with some mashed potatoes and gravy and the next burger.
Tomorrow I will see what to prepare.
If you have a different recipe I like to hear it.
Enjoy your weekend 💕

El coliflor también me encanta. Acá también es costoso. Quise sembrar. pero no tuve éxito. El tronco del coliflor, le quitas la parte externa y su centro es bueno para sopas. Al igual que sus hojas. Buen provecho amiga @wakeupkitty.
I love cauliflower too. It is also expensive here. I wanted to sow. But I did not succeed. The cauliflower trunk, you take the outer part and its center is good for soups. Like its leaves. Bon appetit friend @wakeupkitty.
De las hojas hice un guiso hoy. La coliflor y el lado interno más el tronco comimos juntos. Corté el tronco en trozos muy finos y lo comimos con una salsa de curry. Me pregunto por qué es tan caro. ¿Alguna idea de por qué no pudiste plantarlo?
Out of the leaves I made a stew today. The cauliflower and the inner side plus trunk we ate together. I cut the trunk in very fine pieces and we ate it with a curry sauce. I wonder why it is so expensive. Any idea why you could not plant it?

Lo plante, creció pero nunca fructifico. Las plantas crecieron hermosas, muy grandes y me quedé esperando el coliflor. No llegó. Creo que me engañaron con las semillas.
La planta solo da un fruto, pero a mi ninguno, jejeje. Algún día encontraré mejores semillas. @wakeupkitty.
@gertu Veré si puedo encontrarlos. Supongo que las semillas no eran buenas.
Si, yo también lo creo así.
Yes, I think so too.
Thank you for being a member. An upvote for you and a great weekend. @team-ccc.
